Anyone interested in Halifax, NS, Canada built history, conservation, public art and weird artifacts pics? This seems like the only place I’ve ever felt ok to post. And I have so much interesting stuff I’ve never been able to share!

I never post, but am putting that tiny pine cone, magical artifact into the ether as a talisman for all of us.

I’m lucky to have a career conserving and caretaking many artifacts. Of every single thing ever, this tiny pine cone, folk art piece from 1960’s Nova Scotia is just the best. From the Dartmouth Heritage Museum collection.
